Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police (IGP), has ordered the immediate probe of Emeka Okonkwo, a business mogul better known as E-Money, over alleged abuse of his police escorts and flashy lifestyle.
Emeka is the chairman of Five Star Music, a record label he jointly owns with Kingsley Okonkwo, a singer better known as Kcee, who happens to be his brother.
According to Punch, the IGP’s directive followed claims that E-Money was using policemen attached to him like domestic servants.
Adamu was also said to have issued an order to the Lagos state police command mandating the immediate withdrawal of the six policemen attached to the self-acclaimed clearing and forwarding agent.
“We received a signal from the Force headquarters on Monday that the police detail of music executive, E-Money, be immediately withdrawn and an investigation into the man be launched,” the media outlet quoted a police source as saying.
“The IG was surprised that policemen were attached to him in the first place and were being used like domestic servants, carrying umbrellas, opening doors, and doing menial jobs for him.
“The policemen were discovered to be attached to B Operations at the command headquarters and not MOPOL which is the usual practice. So, we have withdrawn his policemen and we are inviting him for questioning. The policemen will also be interrogated.”
